New Kid

Okay school wasn't always this dark and foreboding but we all had our fears as the new kid. A little fun here with imagery from Finecrafted designs, DCWV artist papers, Holliewood and a little Harry Potter thrown in there too.   For the Three Muses challenge "School Days".

    Oh, this is just wonderful. Captures the spooky spirit of being the new kid in a very scary place. Great work, Lori!

    Well, I did. First day in a new school is always a bit scary. I love that you did something a little somber but also fun for this challenge.

    OK. What do I Love the most about this. The sense of foreboding. The crown on the bird's head. The golden apple. I could go on and on...

    A fabulously striking piece, Lori, and a little bit dark too, and I'm loving the long view right into the background. It feels as though I could walk right in.

    This is great Lori! I don't know, it looks pretty cheery compared to my school days! Thank you for reminding me that after all these years, I can be very happy to still not be going back to school!!!

    Such an imaginative collage. You have captured the first day of school with all the trama and mystery.

    I went to twelve different schools, and lucky for me being the new kid wasn't quite this bad. I do think your piece expresses, though, what institutions do to creativity. School is a dark place for inspiration.
